F Petsmart my 2 otos died already I knew that was going to happen. I waited to take the first one back just in case another one died , and low and behold as soon as I drive all the way to saginaw and waste 10$ in gas get back home and another effing oto is dead. I am so pissed off right now

Sorry about that >< otos and neons/cardinals are generally a high causality fish, even for good pet stores, and besides that, the range of quality of pet stores (especially chain stores) is kind of ridiculous. One time I bought 5 otos, and all of them ended up dying. Another time, 12 cherry barbs, which I tried twice (ended up returning like 18 of them after replacements), then I decided I just wanted my money back. A tip I learned is try to buy your fish the day before they restock. My petsmart gets their fish in on Fridays, my Petland gets theirs in on Wednesdays. Sometimes they just get bad orders, and others they aren't taken good enough care of ><

Thanks Danny; I am going to try buying online next. If these otos don't work out, I will try a hardier fish until I have some more experience. I really like the little guys but I am not driving back and forth everyday to replace them lol.

I still like to get my decor at petsmart
